End of April - sticky tatami

Sokumen iriminage is a tough one, especially when doing it from a seated position. The use of the knees, hip placement and proper uke all play major parts in putting this basic technique together. 

On Tuesday we did both the standing and seated sokumen iriminage 1 and 2 waza. Finished the class with taihenko kokyunage.

In Nagareyama we worked on the new techniques for this year`s 3rd to 1st kyu test syllabus.
